It\u2019s the annual white-tailed deer rifle season this week in Michigan.\u00a0 The orange army is pulling on their red wool and rubber boots and taking to the woods in search of the elusive, gray ghosts.\u00a0 Many<\/p>\n

hunters are dreaming of the thick-antlered, mossy-horned, old trophy buck that just might break the camp record.\u00a0 Others are solely out to put some fine food in the freezer.\u00a0 And still others are all in for the comradery that comes from spending time with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Most camps have that guy\u2014the one that hardly ever sees the woods and likes just as well to be the camp cook and tell stories.\u00a0 He may just be the best guy to have at camp.\u00a0 Those folks always remind me of the old joke about the guy who comes home every year empty handed from his hunting trip.\u00a0 His wife asks, \u201cHow was camp?\u00a0 Did you have a good time?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"She's<\/a>
She’s watching you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cOh sure,\u201d He says.\u00a0 \u201cIt was lots of fun but the deer just weren\u2019t moving this year.\u00a0 You know, the weather and everything.\u00a0 And by the way, I really wanted to thank you for helping me get packed, so I could hit the road right after work.\u00a0 But you forgot to pack my underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo I\u2019m sure I packed them,\u201d she says.\u00a0 \u201cI just put them in your gun case.\u201d<\/p>\n

That joke was better when I was twelve, but I still like it.<\/p>\n

I do know this, though\u2014there\u2019s no wrong way to enjoy the outdoors in Michigan.\u00a0 Like most of the folks out there, I fall in a little with all the different types of hunters.\u00a0 I like the hunt, and the food, and I like the stories, and the traditions\u2014those long lingering and those yet to made.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to taking my little boy to see the big bucks on the pole at Skip\u2019s this year.\u00a0 It just may be the best buck pole in Northern Michigan and it\u2019ll be a new tradition for us.<\/p>\n

If all that stuff isn\u2019t your thing, there plenty for you on the water.\u00a0 Steelhead are in and anglers are finding a few.\u00a0 The brown trout bite has still been just okay, but you\u2019ll likely have the river to yourself.<\/p>\n

The Christmas sales season will be under way very soon, so if you\u2019re in the area, go out of your way too swing by the shop \u2013 you should find a great deal on a fantastic present for your friends and family.\u00a0 You can also register with us so the folks in your life will know just what you want this year.<\/p>\n

Good luck out there and be safe,<\/p>\n
